A casual sans with gently flared terminals and subtly tapered joins that give strokes a brush-cut, slightly calligraphic feel while staying essentially monoline. Curves are generous and open, with rounded bowls and clear counters; corners tend to soften rather than snap to hard angles. The caps are broad and steady, while the lowercase adds more personality through varied entry/exit strokes, a single-storey “g,” and a simple, upright “a.” Overall spacing and rhythm feel airy and readable, with small idiosyncrasies in stroke endings and diagonals that keep the texture lively.
Well suited to branding and packaging that benefits from a friendly, human touch, as well as posters, headlines, and short editorial callouts where personality matters. It can also work for UI labels or casual signage when you want an approachable tone without moving into overt script or novelty styling.
The tone is approachable and upbeat, leaning toward a hand-made, conversational voice rather than a strict geometric or corporate one. Its slight irregularities and flared endings suggest warmth and spontaneity, making text feel relaxed and personable.
The design appears aimed at combining the cleanliness of a sans with hand-drawn warmth, using flared terminals and soft stroke shaping to create a distinctive, informal texture while preserving straightforward, legible letterforms.
The numerals and capitals maintain a straightforward structure, while letters like k, r, s, and y show more expressive terminals and angled cuts, contributing to a gently uneven, lively color in paragraphs. Round forms (O, C, e) stay open and smooth, helping maintain clarity at display and short-text sizes.
